Ingredients:
- 6 dl cold milk
- 1 kg wheat flour
- 150 g sugar
- 3 tsp flaky salt
- 12 g cardamom (about 3 tsp), preferably coarsely ground from whole pods
- 50 g fresh red yeast or 1 packet of dried yeast
- 1 egg
- 150 g room temperature butter, cut into cubes
For brushing:
- 1 egg
For filling:
- 200 g dark chocolate, chopped into pieces or a mix of milk chocolate and dark chocolate
Instructions:
- Place 5 dl of milk in the mixing bowl along with the flour, sugar, salt, cardamom, yeast, and egg. Mix on a slow speed for 3 minutes.
- Increase the speed and gradually add the remaining milk. Knead for 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Lower the speed and add the butter. Let the machine run at a slow speed until all the butter is incorporated. Add the chocolate at the very end and let the machine run for a few more seconds to evenly distribute the chocolate.
- Cover the mixing bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rise for about 1 hour.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured countertop and divide it into pieces weighing about 70 grams each. Shape them into round buns.
- Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a damp towel and let them rise until they have doubled in size.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the buns with the egg.
- Bake the buns at 230°C (445°F) with top and bottom heat, in the middle of the oven, for 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown.
Enjoy your delicious chocolate buns!
